Joshua Nelson

I took this course for fun because the topics were really interesting, and I am really glad I did. It was super reading heavy and the lectures were pretty dense, so it was hard to keep up with taking notes sometimes, but Professor Nelson was good at receiving feedback from the class and adjusting the lectures the second half of the semester. One thing I wish I knew about this class before registering was that there are movie screenings outside of class- we had 3 screenings, all on Wednesday nights - so also something to consider.

Nelson is a little bit odd but he's funny. Class is pretty fast paced and very lecturey with a powerpoint. His exam questions are worded a little strangely and he doesn't leave the room during exams but he is receptive to student feedback which I appreciate

This is the worst psychology class I have ever taken at Midd. While the course title looks interesting, professor Nelson really makes the class so boring. He is bad at leading discussion and I feel like people are just randomly throwing ideas without him organizing it. His lecture is also bad and he just reads through the powerpoint. Gradings are fair, but he does not like you to write scientifically, which most psych classes do.
